Before it was a shop, Whearley and Co. was a bedroom addition. In 2020, Redwood City real estate agent Cliff Whearley and his wife Natalie began renovating their 1920s Tudor home in the citys Mt. Carmel neighborhood, a project later profiled in the Redwood City Pulse for how it added two bedrooms while honoring the original character of the house. That instinct for blending old bones with fresh design became the foundation for their business: a boutique real estate brokerage paired with a curated home goods and vintage storefront at 925 Main Street in downtown Redwood City. Open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the shop sits a short walk from Courthouse Square and the Caltrain station, easy to fold into an afternoon of downtown browsing.
Inside, Whearley and Co. stocks pillows and decor, bed and bath linens, kitchen and dining pieces, lighting, and a dedicated line of Farrow and Ball paint and wallpaper, alongside garden and utility goods for patios and entryways. Natalie personally sources the vintage section, favoring pieces with visible age and patina over anything trend driven, so the mix of eras on the shelves changes regularly and rewards repeat visits. The team also offers design consultations for customers who want help pulling a room together rather than shopping piece by piece, and they periodically host warehouse sales and workshops, including floral arranging sessions, that turn the storefront into a gathering spot beyond straightforward retail.
What sets Whearley and Co. apart from a typical home decor store is the real estate arm running alongside it. Cliff holds a California real estate license, and the couple built their brokerage on the same philosophy that shapes the shop: that a home should read as a reflection of the people living in it rather than a showroom of the moment. Clients working with them on a purchase, sale, or renovation can also draw on the shops sourcing and design eye for staging or furnishing the finished space, a crossover thats unusual among Peninsula home goods retailers. The result is a business that treats furniture, decor, and property as parts of one continuous story about home rather than separate transactions.
For shoppers across Redwood City and the wider San Francisco Peninsula, Whearley and Co. functions as both a destination for one of a kind vintage and new homewares and a resource for anyone renovating or moving, backed by a team that has lived through the process themselves. Whether someone walks in for a Farrow and Ball paint sample, a vintage side table, or a conversation about buying their next house, the shop is built around one idea: good design should feel personal and layered rather than assembled overnight. Whearley and Co. is a Redwood City boutique on Main Street pairing a curated vintage and home goods shop with a real estate brokerage founded by Cliff and Natalie Whearley, offering timeless furnishings, Farrow and Ball paint, and design guidance for homes across the Bay Area Peninsula.
